CVE-2017-12863
In opencv/modules/imgcodecs/src/grfmt_pxm.cpp, function PxMDecoder::readData has an integer overflow when calculate src_pitch.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.72%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
